My view on SmartBoard

It worth the investment in classes that will uses this, such as math and science classes that have a use from them. I don't see a real use in a history class, which a projector can't do. I firmly believe that along with buying the Smartboards the state needs to give training and workshops for the Smartboards. If educators could be educated on the running, functions and possibilities of the SmartBoards then the investment will be more of a sound investment. But, I still do not believe it's a good idea or smart investment for the state to have one in every classroom. This will prove to be a waste of money and if there are no workshops, then it will be a waste of time and even more money. The state should have already started training and workshops if Smartboards have been installed in classrooms. I'm frustrated as a tax payer that they have not.
Another concern is having to buy programs to run for your classroom. A disection program will cost $300 a year, which is outragous.
